Sienna Blake returns to Hollyoaks after prison

Sienna Blake is returning to the soap opera Hollyoaks following a four-month absence. After being imprisoned in May for the suspected murder of Clare Devine—a crime for which she had previously attempted to frame Cleo McQueen—Sienna is returning to the village because the legal case against her has been dropped due to the police's failure to locate Clare's body.

Upon her return, Sienna discovers James is living in her flat and issues him notice to leave. Her homecoming is met with hostility from Mercedes McQueen, who remains critical of Sienna's past manipulation of Cleo. Meanwhile, the return of Sienna adds tension to the secret affair between Cleo and Dodger.
